Qatar Foundation
Hiya every1,
I recently got a job offer from qatar foundation. The interview was conducted in dubai and i intend to relocate to qatar soon. Can sumbdy advise me abt qatar foundation? I heard housing is very expensive in Doha very much like in dubai. Qatar fundation is willing to provide me housing. Should i accept it?
what is iteration rate in Qatar foundation? Is there job insecurity as a part of nationalisation? how is the work culture in QF?
I beleive there ppl working in QF in this forum. I'd really appreciate they respond to this either in the forum or by PM.
BTW i have seen some negative posts abt qatar foundation too in teh forum.
Cheers.

Hi Lina, I applied though ...Hi Lina,
I applied though the qatar foundation careers webpage.All openings are posted there.The was huge job advertisement in local newspapers in dubai by QF. Thats how i came to know of these openings.
The only issue here is that QF recruitment process is very lengthy.

seemanoj ...Thanx for teh info.

algren & lina_hasni ...Qatar Foundation is a very good company to work with! I have some friends there and they are satisfied with all the benefits they've got! they are very similar with Qatar University. very generous company and housing is great, spacious and has all the facilities to keep you going! People who would say negative in Qatar must have not experience living in any other part of Gulf as Qatar is one of the most generous when it comes to benefits etc!
Judge not! that you be not judged!
algren said
Mystica.. ...Thanx.The only negative thing i have heard abt QF so far is that there is a risk of qatarization. But i guess that risk of nationalisation exists all over the gulf.

Well, before packing you ...Well, before packing you bags you have to think twice.
1- Qatar is not like Dubai, so depending on what king of life style you are living in Dubai, you have to consider the facts that Qatar in a Quite City
2- QF is excellent, many people would love to work there, but when it comes to the security issues, it should worry you; after all you are working with the Government.
3- If you DO come to Qatar, the house provided by QF well be you best option for the time, until you get settled, as if you think that houses in Dubai are expensive. Please do try your luck in Qatar, you well then know what expensive is.
N.B for your information, please do not consider this a negative review. as I really do love Qatar, and I love living here.
Peace...

my colleagues from QF... ...i have co-workers who are based in QF...and all of them are satisfied and they never think of going somewhere else. Guess because as i have heard they are very generous and the work place itself has a lot to offer that's why they are having fun. One of them who works in the Her Highness office got her own laptop as a gift for her job well done!

algren ...It may not be like Dubai but I call it mini Dubai myself as I find it as modern as Dubai! It may not be as big as Dubai but you can find everything here same as you can find in Dubai as far as I know! You can have a good time here if you make all the effort! but one thing for sure it's not as crowded as Dubai! See for yourself! Life is great here, you just have to know how to make it exciting!
Judge not! that you be not judged!
algren said
hi..Mystica n others.. ...Thanks for all teh insights..I must agree with mystica here..the salaries offered to expatriates in comapanies like QP, QF, Ras gas are too lucrative and very difficult to find in other GCC countries..
i spent most of my leisure time in sports..squash, football,bowling etc..i hope such activities are affordable in qatar.
Another thing that worries me is that.having born n brought up in dubai. I dont know any1 in qatar!!
Cheers!
Mystica said
algren ...Don't worry! you'll find friends through here in QL they organized get together every weekend!
Judge not! that you be not judged!

QF is a great place to work. ...QF is a great place to work. Education City is an amazing experiment and it will be great to get in on the ground floor. Well relatively...the housing they provide is great, even if their showers are not the best thought out. They soak the entire bathroom. But other than that I have to say I haven't heard any other complaints from those at QF.
amnesia said
Someone said you have to ...Someone said you have to worry about working for QF for security issues... I'm sorry to say that is completely wrong. (You said it was a security issue because it's part of the govt, but any issues for expatriates and the govt is because of illegal activity, nothing more)
The QF is a great place to work for and as mentioned, a generous institution. Mystica has been a great advisor.

IT Environment ...Hi Folks,
Noticed a few comments (seemanoj, kath_0503) related to the IT department. Could you throw some light on the IT environment in Qatar Foundation eg : Infrastructure, Platforms, Applications, Process Frameworks....
A while back there were some ads for ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) professionals but none lately. Just wondering if this process framework is still being pursued.
I'm a Canadian Citizen working as a Senior Systems Analyst looking for openings in ITIL or Business Intelligence/ Data Warehousing.
Greatly appreciate any comments/ advice.
Cheers,
Mike.
